Transfer domino: Woltemade move paves the way for Bayern to land Jackson | OneFootball

Nick Woltemade is leaving VfB Stuttgart to join the Premier League. The forward is joining Newcastle United – opening up new opportunities for FC Bayern in the transfer poker for Nicolas Jackson.

The officials at VfB Stuttgart had already declared the topic of Nick Woltemade closed for this summer. However, an 85-million-euro offer from Newcastle United made the Swabians reconsider. As reported by several German and English media outlets, the 23-year-old's move to the island is a done deal.

This ends a transfer poker that has kept the Bundesliga busy for weeks. FC Bayern had agreed with the player on a transfer early on, but failed due to Stuttgart's transfer demands.

Setback for Bayern – but also new opportunities

For the Munich team, the transfer is a setback, as Woltemade was considered the absolute ideal solution for the offense. In the short term, he was supposed to replace the injured Jamal Musiala, and relieve Harry Kane in the long run.

Curiously, the failed Woltemade transfer to Munich could still play into FCB's hands. Because of Newcastle's decision to go for Woltemade instead of Nicolas Jackson, the path to Chelsea could be clear for Bayern.

According to information from Sky, the talks between Bayern and Chelsea are in an advanced stage. The German record champion wants to initially loan the 24-year-old Senegalese and also secure a purchase option. Chelsea has so far hesitated, as they were hoping for a high offer for a permanent transfer – especially from Newcastle United.

However, now that the Magpies have decided on Woltemade, Bayern is currently the only serious interested party according to English media. This could give the Munich team decisive negotiating room to get the deal done in the coming days.

With Woltemade's move to Newcastle United, an important Bayern target has disappeared from the market. At the same time, however, the chances of the record champion luring Jackson to Munich are increasing. A transfer domino that could end up helping FCB.
